A biochemical and clinical comparison of two commercially available creatine kinase iso-enzyme MB assay kits suitable for use in the routine medical laboratory
Abstract
Two methods for the measurement of plasma creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) activity were compared for analytical performance, cost, practicality, and diagnostic correlation with clinical and electrocardiographic findings in patients admitted to the coronary care unit of a district general hospital. The methods were column chromatography and immunoinhibition. Both methods were found acceptable, and the method to be adopted would depend on the staff arrangements and resources available in the laboratory.
